EPISODE SUMMARY:
When you meet someone who's transformed their entire outlook on leadership, it's like a breath of fresh air in a stale boardroom. That's what happened when I sat down with Brent Pohlman, CEO and owner of Midwest Laboratories, whose journey from a numbers-obsessed executive to an emotionally intelligent leader is nothing short of inspiring. Our conversation is a deep exploration into the heart of leadership, threaded with Brent's reflections on the pivotal moments that spurred his personal and professional growth. His story, underpinned by the wisdom in his book "Leaders Look Within," serves as a powerful reminder of the unique paths we all can take to unearth our leadership potential.
BRENT'S BIO:
Brent has always an interest in becoming a great leader. He has worked for a variety of managers and leaders of various companies, ( Arthur Andersen, Mutual of Omaha and HDR) . He has read many leadership and management books too. The one thing that was missing for Brent was owning his own leadership, and that meant looking deep inside his heart to understand who he was and what that exactly looked like for him. In the last few years, Brent has invested time in better understanding who he is and what he stands for. In order to effectively lead people, Brent discovered the power of owning himself and living with a strong why. Brent has gone through a major transition in the last five years and tells his story in his book, (Leaders Look Within). Brent impresses in his talks that leadership is personal and each person has to find it for themselves to truly be an effective leader. Brent’s hope with this talk is to bring this message of leadership to you. We need leaders who lead from the heart like never before. Brent is the President and CEO of Midwest Laboratories. Brent’s goal is to grow a culture at Midwest Laboratories where people are always first. When Brent isn’t working, he spends time with his wife, Michele and their five adult children and three grandchildren.
